Paul Costes, the new Toulouse UFO
The first time he set foot on a pitch, Paul Costes was four years old. But no license. He was watching his cousin play rugby league and entered without permission to tackle him. Seventeen years later, after stints at Toulouse Université Club and Colomiers, he wears the Stade Toulousain jersey and is preparing to play in a Champions Cup semi-final as a starter at center.
